Everybody excited about the holiday weekend? Looking forward to the fireworks? Well, you can enjoy fireworks indoors, too…metaphorically speaking. Here are my top three picks, shows that you really should go see if you haven’t already.
Stunning. Last month, I previewed David Adjmi’s funny, disturbing, touching, smart new play for TONY, and I reviewed it recently on NY1. It’s only playing for two more weekends, so get on it! At $20, it’s the best deal in town: a terrific ensemble and David Korin’s scary-chic set.
Twelfth Night. Given the nearly universal praise for Daniel Sullivan’s bittersweetly comic production and the perfect cast, there’s bound to be a long wait for free tickets. But that shouldn’t stop you. Even though, ugh, it’s raining again.
Waiting for Godot. This really lovely revival of the Beckett classic closes Sunday. Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin make a great existential couple and John Goodman and John Glover give them a run for their money as Pozzo and Lucky. Beckett purists may scoff—a sign that it’s worth your time.
